1) Long sleeved tops are something I just don't own anymore, and considering how much I feel the cold, I really should. I nearly bought one of these "heat-tech" thermal tops a few months ago in one of the Celia Birtwell prints... but this particular pattern looked a lot easier to wear, and it was a bargain price.
2) Every few months I "force" myself to order from arkclothing.com, and this cute dress found its way into my basket. I like that it's perfect for work and play, and that it's 100% polyester as it's less likely to bobble and fall apart. Just can't resist a Peter Pan collar.
3) I actually just don't have enough tops in general... I have such a dress/jumper heavy wardrobe! This one ticks off the tartan trend too, so when it hit the sale I couldn't help myself... shame it's a little too tight (I should remember that whilst I've lost weight, I'm still a 12, not a 10), and a little too see through.
4) My third purchase in my Ark haul, a glittery black skater dress. I've worn this out for dinner twice already... it's a great updated version of a little black dress, smart or casual enough for anything, as the glitter dresses up whulst the skater style dresses down.
5) I finally jumped on the parka bandwagon, and I'm loving it... it's nice to have a coat that looks good but also genuinely feels warm and practical! Ted still argues it looks scruffy, but I think it goes with everything and to be honest I've barely taken it off!
6) This purchase is one of the reasons that the ASOS Premier membership is bad... I'd had it in my saved items for a while, and when I bought a bourjois cream blusher from there I finally gave in, because I have some kind of complex about buying only one item from a shop. It's a lovely dress though- bit gingham, bit floral, it's a flattering cut and soft material, and it really is a "go with everything"-er.
That's it for now- but I actually have some posts scheduled for this week!
Did you buy much this January?
